if the election was today, I definitely would not be voting for him. Yeah, let’s give Trump another shot. He’s harmless, right? Preface this by saying this is not directed at you SanCarlos ... Lets say (hypothetically, of course) Biden decides his 2nd term platform is fixing the country's infrastru...

Steve of phpBB

You would, because you'd remember all the other reasons why he is millions times better than the alternative - including on Israel-Palestine. Yeah, imagine what would happen under Trump? There could be an US-funded genocide or something. There would be a far increased chance of an actual genocide, ...

Kinda feels like Biden lost the race today and it's all fucking self-inflicted. 1. Dissent only led to disorder because the police stepped in. These were mostly peaceful protests. 2. Dissent and disorder is how we fucking became a country. It's easy for me to say since I live here, but if the elect...

I definitely think it’s a risk that disillusioned young people might not vote. https://twitter.com/kellyscaletta/status/1785539215188525195?s=46&t=EE1Ye28Yvhgf1Mr4AtYGWQ Yeah, it’s by far my biggest fear right now. I’m clinging to the hope that because memories are so short, this will all be fo...

Since it continues to be the former why should people* care about who's president ever at all? Because if ongoing genocide and continued human rights violations are being tacitly allowed by the good guys , then WTF? To protect a woman's right to abortion. The cynic in me believes that never codifyi...

My condolences, L-Jam. Thank you for posting that.

Mentioned it in the cantaloupe thread, but Resident Alien is so much fun. It can be cheesy but the writing is good with so many plot twists. And Sheriff Mike is such a good character. You do need a taste or at least a tolerance for goofiness. If you have that, Alan Tudyk is a worthy successor to Ro...

Thanks gents. Got a chance to meet Jim Palmer and got a ball signed by him also. Told him that he was my father’s favorite pitcher and by default mine. He was very nice to the younger kids who had come out with our group. Had a moment or two to chat w trouble maker, Kevin Brown and thanked him for ...

I figure to the extent Swift is being autobiographical at all, she’s talking about early years in the music business.

Also the supreme court seems poised to end democracy. This is one of those "worst person you know" situations, because here is a great article from the Bulwark of all places: https://www.thebulwark.com/p/conservative-legal-philosophy-was?selection=d2cff765-af22-4daa-97e7-61cc1664aa9d&...

Or, they could both end up disappointments.

I'm sure there are some anti-semetic people at the rallies (and anywhere else people gather), but these protests are against the Israeli gov't, not jewish people. Otherwise, there are a whole lot of anti-semetic jewish people both there and living around me and in Isarel, etc, etc. Framing it as an...

But how do you all feel about the protests at the Ivy schools that seem to be undeterred despite antisemitic overtones and rallying in support of Hamas, not the Palestinian people? Those are despicable. The First Amendment still protects them, but anyone who says "go back to Poland" to pe...

The new Taylor Swift album seems fine so far, but I have to say, I prefer her older stuff, before she became less commercial. Yeah, it's pretty boring, tbh. It fit my vibe yesterday when I listened the first time. I wasn't listening with intent necessarily, but had it loud enough to hear while I wa...

They're having a big "welcome the team" thing at the Delta Center this afternoon. It's kinda crazy right now.

The Bulls' attendance went from a consistent 6000-7000 per game to 18,000 per game when they drafted Jordan. I would not be surprised to see a big jump for a few of the WNBA teams, at least for this year. To me, the big unknown is whether the increased interest will be sustained.

I'm curious how there are 2 lawyers who don't pay attention to politics or government. How can you be a lawyer and not pay attention to where the laws come from? I guess they're too busy working? Realistically, it probably depends a lot on what type of work the lawyer does. For me, it's rare that a...

Did the parties have access to the prospective jurors' social media identities? I seem to recall some stuff last week about tweets from certain jurors. If the prosecutors could review that juror's feed, they might have been comfortable enough that he or she wasn't completely insane, just the basic s...
